This initiative will create new opportunities for border area and battlefield tourism, homestays, local crafts and youth entrepreneurship," the LG said. He said our brave soldiers laid down their lives to defend the motherland, and their courage and sacrifice should be instilled in every Indian as a powerful source of pride and inspiration.

There is a renewed sense of self-confidence, and the society is prosperous and peaceful than ever before," he said.
